Monday Music Moves Me has a fun Christmas topic which is all about colour. Cathy at Curious as A Cathy has a fun one and here are my 3...
1. DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY BY TSCHAIKOVSKY
2. SILVER BELLS SUNG BY BOB HOPE & MARILYN MAXWELL-1950
This famous song, originated in the film, " The Lemon Drop Kid" and became a standard for Bob Hope on his many Christmas specials. He sings this with Marilyn Maxwell often referred to as Mrs Bob Hope because they had a lengthy love affair.
3. RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER SUNG BY BURL IVES-1964
I had to choose this version because it's from 1964 and this famous TV special with the puppets. I love it and what an effing shame they get rid of songs because they are called misfits. WTF!? Hey, I wad a misfit and I was bullied...bullying happens even today. It is what it is..get over it. Ok, My rant for today. I will do my Oscar one next week even though I doubt anyone will read it:)
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Birgit!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Birgit! Love the photo of Harley with Lexi. ☺ And some excellent tunes to set the holiday mood. I agree 100% with your rant.
ReplyDeleteSilver bells, Silver bells, throw all your dough in the kitty.... throw it in, throw it in, or Santa will slip you a mickey... William Frawley was a riot in this movie. My stepfather loved Damon Runyon, claims he translated it into Latin (one of the several Master's degrees he held).
ReplyDeleteAll classics!
ReplyDeleteThree classics. I had forgotten that Silver Bells was longer than the versions we commonly hear. Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops certainly were great.
